[PATCH] D116995: [gold] Ignore bitcode from sections inside object files

[James Y Knight via llvm-commits]

-fembed-bitcode was originally added by Apple to enable them to recompile
3rd-party-developers' software with a newer compiler, or for new CPU
targets, without the source code. It uses the normal non-LTO optimization
pipeline, and emits bitcode corresponding to the binary object also
emitted.

For LTO bitcode generation, we use a different pass manager configuration.

That said, various other people seem to have had various other ideas about
how things should work over time. So, I couldn't say conclusively that
nobody will complain if we have gold not try to parse these sections...but
it seems potentially reasonable to me.
